Watching someone do a thing and doing the thing are different. One of the pitfalls of a lot of recommendation systems is that they don’t know or care about the difference. Watching a video about a book is fine, but then you need to go out and read.

It’s a little like reading an article before commenting. Most people don’t. You will get a lot more out of the conversation if you do though.
Ooookay. You are the world's greatest expert in film-making. Thank you.
The article says "battery storage capacity" - the plaintext reading of this is referring to energy and they messed up the units. As per usual.
Boeing leadership has blamed fixed-price contracts like the Commercial Crew Program for their inability to make a profit, so I doubt they'll be looking to get themselves into another. Starliner might continue to fly if they can bribe/blackmail the government into giving them an unlimited money tap (aka "cost plus") contract for more Starliner missions. Hopefully that doesn't happen, but time will tell.

There’s no way Apple would announce major new OS features outside of WWDC.

So, perhaps it’s no coincidence that a new iPadOS will be announced in exactly one month.

Here’s hoping anyway!
> It's less than 2x the price of SpaceX, whereas the SLS vs Falcon Heavy cost ratio is like 20x

Starliner is directly comparable to Dragon. SLS can technically do things Falcon Heavy can't (e.g. more payload).
Age 9 is about time to get into "The Hobbit". That might save some people ;). Or Terry Pratchet''s "Truckers" ? So much utterly fantastic kids literature out there, most of it not at all new.

That was never ensured. Historical casualty projections expected that, in the event of large scale nuclear attacks, the majority of the involved countries' populations would survive not only the attack but the conditions afterward.
Back in the old days, the primary users of many mainframe UIs were the data entry team (almost universally female).

Sitting in large offices with rows of desks and a huge clock on the front wall, they weren't interacting with customers, they were transcribing from sales sheets, order forms, application forms, etc. prepared by someone else.

There was no great need for user friendliness, because the only users were in house, and they performed the same data entry hundreds of times every day.

The only need was for speed.

The arrival of the PC started changing everything, as people got familiar with the mouse and GUI.

Somehow mouse-based GUIs became the default for everything, which made a lot of sense as at the same time data entry was pushed out to the users themselves and intermediary data entry staff disappeared.

But if you want a fast, simple way to quickly perform common transactions even on very small screens, old school TUIs have a lot to learn from.
Apple has the NPU (also called Apple Neural Engine), which is specific hardware for running inference. Can't be used for LLMs though at the moment, maybe the M4 will be different. They also have a vector processor attached to the performance cluster of the CPU, they call the instruction set for it AMX. I believe that that one can be leveraged for faster LLM inferencing.

Ars Technica just had an article about this the other day.

For context: SpaceX had a “head start” because they had an existing cargo capsule they modified while Boeing was designing from scratch.

Still you can add this to the pile of stuff Boeing is going through lately and it doesn’t look good at all. One more thing that’s not working out right.

As much as I enjoy mocking tech bros, that's not really a thing unique to them. I see it everywhere -- including in myself.

People in general (and particularly in business) tend to overemphasize the role of talent/work and underemphasize the role of luck in the successes they have. They also tend to overemphasize (bad) luck and underemphasize talent/work in their failures.

It seems to be a basic part of human nature.

Pretty much all significant success requires both skill and a lot of good luck. Skill and good work is what gets you the lottery ticket, but you still need fortune to smile on you for it to hit.
Yes because the police stop arresting people for it.

If you don't prosecute, it effectively stops being illegal.

Yeah, I was actually surprised to learn there was a reason other than "Apple wants you to buy a new Macbook or overspec your current one". It's annoying, but at least there's a plausible reason to why they do it.
Ask HN: Sugar packets with something other than sugar?
Anybody else experiencing sugar packets with non-sugar white powder in them instead?

At a local restaurant I ordered regular tea because they don't have sweet tea. Emptied a sugar packet in and stirred fifty times with the table knife (nobody has those long-handled iced-tea spoons any more!)

Took a drink and it wasn't sweet, not a particle, not one iota of sweetness. What gives?

No sugar crystals on the bottom of the cup, which are always there because cold beverages don't dissolve sugar well.

What's happening?

I dumped another sugar packet in and watched - it rained down and ... disappeared!

So, it isn't sugar. Dumping some in my hand, wetting a fingertip and dabbing, get a taste and ... nothing. No sweetness.

The packets were marked SysCo, so that doesn't tell my anything.

I'm kind of worried. Somebody substituted some white powder for sugar, sold it to SysCo, who distributed it to unsuspecting millions. Is it just corn starch? Something more sinister? Is it edible at all? Am I gonna get sick?

Concerned in Iowa.

> Starliner/Atlas wouldn't be affected

Every launch of the Atlas V has already been sold [1]. They can't make more because it uses the Russian RD-180 engine.

If the Falcons were grounded, we wouldn't have the capacity to replace them with Starliner + Atlas V.

Here in Oslo, the mixed-use Vertikalen[1][2] recently officially opened. Ground floor is a cafeteria and a restaurant, followed by a several floors of offices, and the rest above is all residential apartments.

Yeah, I'm hoping to find some type of image AI service that can produce passable art assets for 2D game development. Just good enough to do POC work. I have started a few gaming projects over the years and always ran into a brick wall needing assets.

I find these meaningless reasons bullshit, just tell me that you spinned the roulette and 5 red came out and I needed a 7 black to be chosen to be talked to. At least I don't start self doubting myself just because someone didn't like my formatting or the choices I made after university.
> That does not say teachers can't keep a library. At most it says that the titles in said library need to be reviewed/approved by the school.

It says the teachers have to remove or cover up their classroom libraries until their books can be approved by the school. I don't know how you can honestly argue that that doesn't constitute removal, even if it might be temporary.

Worked in an engineering lab at the time of the G4 introduction and I can contest that the G4 was a very, very fast CPU for scientific workloads.

Confirmed here: https://computer.howstuffworks.com/question299.htm (and elsewhere.)

A year later I was doing bonkers (for the time) photoshop work on very large compressed tiff files and my G4 laptop running at 400Mhz was more than 2x as fast as PIIIs on my bench.

Was it faster all around? I don't know how to tell. Was Apple as honest as I am in this commentary about how it mattered what you were doing? No. Was it a CPU that was able to do some things very fast vs others? I know it was.
What is a blue team?
Computer Science is actually kinda of lousy for teaching the things most programmers can do. To the point where if I was hiring, I'd rather hire someone who's less experienced and self-taught, but with some sort of "interesting" background, where "interesting" is almost anything that teach's critical thinking about abstract concepts and how to articulate ideas. Could be anything from a Journalism degree to someone who spent a decade working their way up the ranks of a machine shop from operator to foreman.

I can tell you the last time I had to write a singly-linked list implementation though. October 17th, Nineteen Ninety Never.
Not yet. Maybe a lorem ipsum?
I agree that these large military actions of two industrially developed nations against each other is mostly an echo of the days past. But here it goes by happening to Russia, where I live. I have no way to interact with that inevitable transformation of yours, and the people who are promising this transformation are very unsympathetic at the moment; but either way it's I can't do much here.

The problem is that we were promised this "inevitable transformation" by various parties in 1994 and in 1999 and in 2004 and in 2009 and in 2014 (with more hysterical undertones) and in 2019. Here we are in 2024 and instead of that inevitable transformation we are in the midst of a big war, and not only ones at that.

> people really do live better, happier, safer and more fulfilling lives in Europe.

I don't think anybody ever argued with it; much like how living in LA or Barcelona is a vastly more superior option than living in North Dakota or Bucharest.

But the main question here is whether the EU magic dust can make life in Ukraine any better, in the amounts supplied and administred by Ukraine. Crimea bet against that and Donetsk/Lugansk population also bet against that. I do believe people live better, happier, safer and more fulfilling lives in Sevastopol these days than they do in Odessa on the other side of the front.

"Beating and raping her" applies to Ukraine's treatment of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea before you can apply it to Russia. Ukraine should realize they will have to part with those relations which now only exist in their heads.

And before you say most people in Crimea didn't really choose to be overrun by little green men: Most people in Ukraine didn't really choose to get rid of their president by the means of Maidan coup either. Sometimes we play the cards which were dealt.
For how much afterwards though?
Keeping an eye on this. I've been wanting something like this to manage an air-gapped system. I don't want to worry about keeping on offline apt repository (or what have you) synced, I just want to boot a full new image and mount my home folder.

Citation needed on all of that. It's not just retail closing up in NYC -- the rent is ludicrous, and no one wants to start renting at a lowe rate lest their appraisal goes down and their mortgage lender/city coffers start putting the pressure on the landlord
It's fashion and the kids are hip. But there is an endless void of Apple haters here who want to see it burn. They have nothing in common with 99.9% of the customer base.
Good comment. I think both of your perspectives are fair and manifest in the size of what is being designed.

Meaning that if someone designs something huge, end-to-end, it's going to be difficult for external people to address potential flaws within the design.
A lot of interlinked parts requiring to have the full mental model loaded in the brain.
So one should go step by step.

It's also true that not every feedback is equal and it's important to think in advance about how to address rebuttals since most people don't give in-depth feedbacks but surface gut feeling (which can be invaluable too, even if simply in terms of UX), unless they have wondered about how to solve the same exact problem before.
That requires more time spent thinking about the design.
This is in fact the thing that stopped me from buying an Apple Vision Pro.
> I still don't get why such questions are even asked

The thesis is not that these exercises are representative of work but rather predictive of performance.

Sales has a similar phenomenon with sports. While there is no athleticism involved in selling, many believe history in competitive sports to be a positive predictor of sales success.

You can reasonably argue whether leetcode accomplishes this well or poorly, but...

Always remember that purpose of an interview (for an employer) is to predict performance. So you are looking for the resume screening+interview process that most accurately assesses that.
Everything extremely bad for you is not always a diuretic. Sometimes, it's a deadlyetic. You have to consider that we have fat/oil and water solubles. Your urine just can contain the water solubles.

The next question is, why do you compare eggs with potatoes? Both are round, I know...

A lot of animals drink their own urine. Hamsters and Guinea pigs are known to eat their solid feces, dogs are known for this behavior, sometimes, too. The apes do this. So did and does the human too. May it be because of some (traditional) medicine believes, Emergencies like in the sea, fetishes or other reasons. Since a long long time. In each culture and nation. I'm sure one of your neighbors does this too :)

Where exactly is the evidence for urine being bad bad bad as you say? Arsenic and alcohol are known to kill, but urine never has been used for killings or something like this. There are quite a few studies around that topic, why don't you just Google first instead spreading misinformation?

May be you start with this here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032615/

It's the first Google search result I could click the fastest. There it's written what you should know to reposition your beliefs.

One thing I can tell you without spoiling: you can't piss that much you can drink. We loose some water through sweating and by respiratory means ... So it never will be fecesdynamically feasible (the 3 laws of fecesdynamics: eat shit repeat)

I think you're underestimating the number of people who go in to buy an iPad and gravitate to the Pro because it looks the coolest and sounds like a luxury thing. For those people, who are likely just going to use it for web browsing and streaming videos, the cheapest configuration is the only one they care about.

That type of buyer is a very significant % of sales for iPad pros. Despite the marketing, there are really not that many people (as a % of sales) that will be pushing these iPad's anywhere even remotely close to their computational/storage/spec limits.
the article doesn't tell me what Zed is. If I look around, it just says it's the new text editor from the authors of Atom.
I wanted to upgrade my M1 because it was going to swap a lot with only 8 gigs of RAM and because I wanted a machine that could run big LLMs locally. Ended up going 8G macbook air M1 -> 64G macbook pro M1. My other reasoning was that it would speed up compilation, which it has, but not by too much.

The M1 air is a very fast machine and is perfect for anyone doing normal things on the computer.
Yeah, I think MAD and "launch on warning" are distinct concepts. If we survive the first strike, we can rationally plan our second strike. So training tapes being played on the live system won't cause us to accidentally make a first strike; we can still assure destruction after taking a first strike. (That's why there's the nuclear triad.)

I think that "launch on warning" was an official policy at some point. I am not sure if it is anymore. I don't think it's a good one and it's not necessary to deter a first strike. The missiles are underground and at unknown locations in the ocean for that reason.

As for crazy presidents, yup, that is a legitimate concern. I am not sure why we put commanding the armed forces into the hands of one person. (The advantage is that one person can decisively retaliate after a surprise strike on Washington. The disadvantage is that a drunk Twitter war can escalate to ending the world. Sigh!)

As for irrational actors, that's another big problem. What does North Korea lose if they nuke the US? Not much; they don't have a huge economy as it is. It's a nice "fuck you" if the reigning dictator sees that the end of their regime is inevitable. MAD doesn't help with that at all.

It's all actually pretty scary. We like to think that the cold war is over, but really, not all the countries of the world are at peace right now, so everything could be over in the blink of the eye and you won't see it coming. I guess keep all that in mind as you plan your day!
There’s also llm-scraper in TypeScript

https://github.com/mishushakov/llm-scraper
They don't usually count as TUIs, but there are some great CLI programs, even for interactive use. Perhaps the classic example beyond the usual is the MH mail handling system, which is still maintained as nmh [0]. Instead of a single monolith like thunderbird, mutt, or mailx, it consists of multiple commands that list mails, show them, let you compose new ones, etc, and keeps all intermediate state on the filesystem which makes it very easy to back up or do anything with using the usual file management commands. Mblaze [1] is a more modern implementation of a similar concept that uses amildirs, and it's how I interact with my emails these days.

There are also programs that function more similar to "monoliths" but still act like a shell or repl as far as accepting commands and executing them. Clifm [2] is one example, it's the only file manager I seriously tried using before giving up and returning to ls and friends. If you have vi or any of its discendents odds are you can run them in "ex" mode where you use them similar to the good old ed. Speaking of ed, edbrowse [3] is a browser with an ed-like interface that can also read mail (and no I'm not making it up. An interesting thing about it (well, at least one of them) is that one can define "functions" which are pretty similar to functions in sh. For example, this is a function to search something on searx:

```
function+gg {
db0
b https://searx.be/
/<>/ i=~0
db1
/start search/i
i2*
/h1/
}
```

While this can certainly be done in a conventional browser using userscripts or such, I'd argue that this sort of function is easier to write because most of it is something you were doing already, and now you're just putting it in a shorthand, where in a userscript you'd probably have to use a lot of getElementById()s to do it, which besides being more verbose is very different to how you think about the problem.

It has 6 efficiency cores. Every single of them is extremely power efficient, but still faster than an iPad 2-3 generations back. So unless you go full throttle, a M4 is going to be by far the most efficient CPU you can have.

It’s somewhat obscured by all the technical details but doing this exploit does have a practical purpose: it allows highly skilled players to play longer since they can now have a way to prevent a crash that prevents them from playing past certain points. For the average player there’s no practicality to this but for those who want to compete for the highest scores this solves a limitation and opens new opportunities for competition.

I didn't realize the lack of context so my bad.

I was trying to do some tests to compare kubernetes resource usage of nginx+php-fpm, nginx unit with php module and frankenphp (based on caddy). For reasons that are not relevant I need the service to be exposed on both ports 80 and 443 and do both plain HTTP and HTTPS. The host is not fixed because there is a public DNS but also the cluster-internal service name.

With nginx+php-fpm and nginx unit it was dead easy: here's port 80, here's a self-signed cert for TLS so listen also on 443. That's it. it works.

With Caddy it was so frustrating to see so many assumptions and "automatic redirects, trust me, this is what you want" and no obvious manual override that I just gave up. What I got working before I gave up was either only port 80 which is not good enough, either only port 443 which is also not good enough or both but 80 redirects to 443.
That's also nice, but the memory speed is also higher, Ddr5-7266 vs 5600 iirc. The resulting higher bandwidth translates more or less directly into more performance for the iGPU.
Recommend any good non-fiction or even fiction books that talk about these experiences?
